That whole GME thing is not stupid... institutions are holding 106% of GME stocks... not sure how much non-institutions are holding. What is stupid is what the government is allowing institutions to do.
> % Held by Institutions 106.22

I appreciate all of your work but I think that you are wrong with this comment... I think that talking about leaving platforms that have monopolies can spur innovation.

If you pay $17,000 more fore the electric car, it would take many years to pay for itself... maybe too many.
